G. P. NORTON.
G. P. Norton, president of the Cherokee Commercial Company at Cherokee, is one of the foremost business men of Crawford county, a man of enterprise, industry, ability, and a high degree of public spirit, and during the past quarter of a century during which he has been a resident of the county he has participated actively in the work of general progress and upbuilding throughout this section of southeastern Kansas. The business firm of which he is the head is a notably reliable and commercially sound company, and their business is extensive throughout the town and country about Cherokee. Lewis Schwab is the general manager and treasurer of the firm, and its other members are J. G. Schwab and M. C. Bolick. It is one of the pioneer general merchandise houses at Cherokee.
Mr. Norton, who has been in this business in Cherokee since 1893, and who took up his permanent abode in Crawford county in 1880, was born in Allegany county, New York, on the Genesee river, October 21, 1842, being of one of the old families of that section and of English and Scotch descent. The original ancestors were three brothers who came from England and settled on Martha's Vineyard among the first to locate at that place. Mr. Norton's parents were Leonard and Margaret (Carr) Norton, both native New Yorkers. The mother's father was a Revolutionary soldier, and, being captured at the Wyoming Massacre, was held prisoner by the Indians for seven years before his final release. Leonard Norton, who died at the advanced age of eighty-four years, was a farmer by occupation, a Republican in politics and a member of the Presbyterian church; his good wife passed away at the age of seventy-two. Their four children were Charles, of Cherokee; Emma Benard, of Illinois; Alice Shannon, of McCune, and George P.
Mr. Norton was reared on a farm in New York, and his schooling was what he obtained in the public schools and by self-application. The family moved out to Missouri in 1858, and there he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed very successfully for many years, and many buildings at Cherokee and in Crawford county show evidence of his skill and fine handicraft. In 1861 he joined the Missouri State Militia and Home Guards, and at the beginning of 1863 he became a member of Company F, Eighteenth Illinois Infantry, under Colonel Webber and Captain H. H. Benner. During his eighteen months' service he was at Little Rock, Arkansas, and at various Louisiana points. After the war he settled in McDonough county, Illinois, and, as above stated, came out to Crawford county in 1880.
In McDonough county he was married to Miss Nancy J. McClure, who was born, reared and educated in that county, and they have worked together for what they have gained of the world's material comforts and are highly esteemed members of Crawford county society. They had one daughter, Viola, who was the wife of Robert A. Bolick, cashier of the Cherokee Bank. She died November 28, 1904. Mr. Norton has long taken an active interest in educational affairs, and is now president of the local school board. He is a Republican in politics, and has for years served as quartermaster of Shiloh Post No. 56, G. A. R. He is an elder in the Presbyterian church.
There follows the obituary notice of Mr. Norton's lately deceased daughter:
Died at her home in this city Monday, November 28, 1904, Viola, beloved wife of Robert A. Bolick, and daughter of G. P. and Nannie Norton, aged 37 years and 22 days. Services were conducted by Rev. E. W. Beason, of Pleasanton, Kansas, at the Presbyterian church, in this city, of which the deceased was a member, after which interment was made in the Cherokee cemetery. A husband and five children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and a kind and loving mother, but their loss is her eternal gain, leaving in this world the evidence of triumphant faith, passing peacefully to her eternal home, without fear, relying in Him who has gone to prepare a place for you.
Viola May Norton was born in McDonough county, Illinois, November 6, 1867. She removed with her parents to Cherokee county, Kansas, in the fall of 1880, and has since resided in the near locality.
She was married to Robert A. Bolick December 15, 1887. To this union were born five children all of whom are living.
She united with the Presbyterian church when about twenty years of age, and has been a consistent member thereof until her death, November 28, 1904.

George Chinnery (Chinese: 錢納利; 5 January 1774 – 30 May 1852) was an English painter who spent most of his life in Asia, especially India and southern China.
.
Chinnery returned to London in 1801 without his wife and two infant children. In 1802 he sailed to Madras (Chennai) on the ship Gilwell. He established himself as a painter there and then in Calcutta (Kolkata), where he became the leading artist of the British community in India.
By 1813 Chinnery was a freemason, listed as a member of Calcutta's well-to-do masonic lodge Star in the East. This was one of three masonic lodges in that city which took part in the official welcome for Lord Moira (1754-1826), also a freemason, on his arrival there (1813) as the new Governor-General of India.[1] Chinnery's masonic career is otherwise little documented, and its connection with his artistic output unexplored.
Some of his most famous paintings are of the Indian family of Colonel James Achilles Kirkpatrick British Resident to the Nizam of Hyderabad who had set up home, to some scandal among his fellow Europeans, with the Indo-Iranian great niece of the Nizam of Hyderabad's chief minister. He painted The Kirkpatrick Children presenting them " [with a] sympathy that is rare in portraiture of the period; the boy looking straight at the viewer with a self-conscious stance, hand on hip, while the girl looks uncomfortably at the floor." [2] Mounting debt prompted a move in 1825 to southern China.
From 1825 until his death in 1852 Chinnery based himself in Macau,[3] but until 1832 he made regular visits to Canton (now Guangzhou). He painted portraits of Chinese and Western merchants, visiting sea-captains, and their families resident in Macau. His work in oil paint was closely imitated by the Cantonese artist Lam Qua, who himself became a renowned portrait painter. Chinnery also painted landscapes (both in oils and in watercolours), and made numerous drawings of the people of Macau engaged in their daily activities.
At the time, westerners were restricted in their access to China, trading out of settlements in Macau and later Hong Kong, where Chinnery also went - His interest in the local scene does indeed set him apart from most western artists of the time.[4]
In 1846 he made a six-month visit to Hong Kong, where he suffered from ill health but made detailed studies of the newly founded colony. He died in Macau on 30 May 1852 and is buried in the Old Protestant Cemetery there.

Death of Geo. Anthony
George H. Anthony, born at Shelbyville, Indiana, January 28, 1842, died at the home of his son, Harry, five miles northwest of Altoona, last Sunday morning, January 19th, at 6:30 o’clock, age 76 years, 11 months and 21 days. Funeral services were conducted last Monday at the home by the Rev. J. R. Creamer, of the Altoona Methodist church. Interment was in the Altoona cemetery.
In 1862, Mr. Anthony volunteered for service in the Union army, Company A, 83 Indiana Regiment of Infantry. This regiment was a part of the troops operating along the Mississippi for the capture of Vicksburg. It was finally transferred down the river and disembarked below the city, where it formed a part of General Grant’s great army of advance on the historic Rebel stronghold. Mr. Anthony took part in the battles of Raymond, Champion Hills, Big Black River Bridge and in the advance on the city. In this latter he was shot through the left knee while on picket and was so badly wounded as to be put out of the service at once. He returned home in time and had not recovered from his injury when the war closed being unable to join the delegation bound to Indianapolis to welcome the comrades home from the field. When he finally became able to take up the thread of civil life, he engaged in farming as a permanent business, together with the handling of stock.
He was married in July 1865, to Jennie Alves. To this union one child was born, Mrs. Cora Cox, who lives northwest of Altoona. His wife departed this life November 4, 1866. In November, 1867, he was united in marriage to Lyda E. Lingo. Eight children were born to this union, four of whom are living. The young couple came to Kansas in 1869, locating in Greenwood county at what is now Quincy, and six years later came to Wilson county, which was their home until the death of Mrs. Anthony in 1905. In 1908, he was united in marriage to Henrietta Siler, of Fredonia, whose death occurred in August, 1916. They lived in Fredonia for a few years, or until her death, when Mr. Anthony returned to the farm, and has been staying with his sons since. Deceased had been a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge for over fifty years.
Mr. Anthony had enjoyed good health until a year or two ago, when he began to fail, although up until the day before he died he seemed to be in his usual health, and the day before he passed away, he walked to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cox, and seemed to be in good spirits. Wednesday morning his little granddaughter went to his bed room to awaken him, but was unable to do so, and afterward when other members of the family entered the room, they found the old gentleman helpless. He had suffered a paralytic stroke during the night and never rallied, his life passing away Sunday morning.
George Anthony was a well liked man. Until age compelled him to retire from active work in politics, he was a leader of his party in Wilson county. He was gifted of speech and had a ready, forceful and convincing delivery in his public addresses. His fund of information regarding public questions was apparently inexhaustible and he was a leader in debates. He lived a long and useful life and reared an honorable and industrious family. He leaves to mourn his death, two sons, Harry and Edward, who live northwest of Altoona, and three daughters, all of whom were present at the funeral, except Mrs. J. D. Dunbar of Jena, Louisiana. He leaves a brother, D. D. Anthony, of St. Louis, a half-brother, C. B. Larabee, of Indiana, and many, many friends

and these are my great-great grandparents on the Watt side, in Glasgow -- i'm guessing the date to be about 1878, which is the year they were married.
George William Watt was born in Huntly, up in the northeastern corner of Scotland near Aberdeen, but as a young man he moved to Glasgow, where he trained to be an apothecary -- somewhere my dad has his training kit, a wooden box filled with mysterious powders and herbs...
he has something of a Tobey Maguire look about him here, doesn't he?

Continuing my week of reasons to smile.
George was the top of my list ... he always makes me smile, even when he farts ... which he does quite a lot!
You'll notice he's not at all in focus & his tongue is still going ... I couldn't be bothered shooting another picture.
George McClellan was a lieutenant during the Mexican American War and a Union Major General during the Civil War. He was also the 24th Governor of New Jersey and a Presidential hopeful in 1864.
McClellan graduated from West Point academy as 2nd in his class in 1846 and was placed as a lieutenant in the US Army Corps of Engineers. In October of 1846, McClellan was sent down to the Texas Mexico border to serve under future president Gen. Zachary Taylor. McClellan would then serve under Gen. Winfield Scott where he would run reconnaissance missions missions while in Mexico. After the war, McClellan returned to West Point to rejoin the Army of Engineers.
At the beginning of the Civil War, McClellan sided with the Union and excepted a position as General of Ohio volunteers. In short time, McClellan would take command of the Department of Ohio which included giving him control of the armies in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, western Pennsylvania, and western Virginia. He would take control of the forces of western Virgina taking two decisive victories over the confederacy forcing them to leave the area. This would make McClellan a national heroe and help Virginia split into two different states.
In 1861, after the loss at the Battle of Bull Run, President Lincoln called for McClellan to take over that Army of the Potomic and lead them against confederate forces. McClellan, at this time, was second in charge to only Winfield Scott who was commander and chief of the United States Army. After taking over the army, McClellan saw different than what other Union generals saw and became very suspicious of everybody around him. He was one of a few generals in the United States Army who believed in slavery because it was written in the Constitution. He started refusing to explain his war strategies and kept them a secret from the likes of Major General Winfield Scott. Scott would hand Lincoln his resignation due to distrust among him and McClellan to which Lincoln would refuse. After hearing from sources that McClellan would resign for the same reason, Lincoln accepted Scott's resignation dur to health issues. This would make McClellan the Commander and Chief of the United States Army.
After taking command of the army, McClellan would be slow to attack the confederate forces around Washington. McClellan had become paranoid and thought the confederacy had around 150,000 troops stationed there while there was less then 35,000. Lincoln and his cabinet became very frustrated with McClellan and ordered him to the White House to force him to tell his strategy for attacking the confederacy. McClellan would do so in which Lincoln would order him to strike now. After more slow movement by McClellan, Lincoln was forced to remove McClellan from his duty as commander and allow him to only serve as General of the Army of the Potomic.
McClellan would lead his group down to Richmond, Va and onto Williamsburg, Va where he would chase Confederate Major Robert E Lee. While see victories in Virginia, Lee was able to escape McClellan each time. He finally tracked Lee down one lat time outside Sharpsburg, Md at the Battle of Antietam. However, McClellan came down with a fever and missed much war action so he was forced to rely on his men, but McClellan had still not given anybody his strategy. The Union would take the victory at Antietam but Lee still escaped. Congress put all blame on McClellan and Lincoln removed him from duty awarding General Burnside the Army of the Potomic and Ulysses S Grant as commander and chief.
In 1864, as Lee moved into Pennsylvania and Gettysburg, Lincoln and Grant tried to have McClellan reinstated into the army to lead a group into Gettysburg, but Congress refused the reinstatement. McClellan would turn his attention to politics where he would receive the Democratic nod to run for President in 1864. McClellan would run against President Lincoln and would support the continuation of war. His race was held up with inconsistency when Ohio congressman, George Pendleton, was chosen as his running mate. Pendleton was a peace time supporter and spoke out against the war. Lincoln would win the election easily at an electoral vote of 212 to 21 and a poplar vote of 55% to 45%.
In 1868, the democrats wanted McClellan to run again for President, but he refused when he found out Ulysses S Grant was running as the Republican. In 1877, McClellan was taken by surprise when he was nominated to run for the off ice of Governor of New Jersey even though he had never shown interest. McClellan accepted the nomination and won the election serving one term as the 24th Governor of New Jersey.
George McClellan passed away in 1885. He is buried at Riverview Cemetery in Trenton, NJ.
